GNUnet is a peer-to-peer framework with focus on providing security. All peer-to-peer messages in the network are confidential and authenticated. The framework provides a transport abstraction layer and can currently encapsulate the network traffic in UDP, TCP, HTTP, HTTPS, or direct 802.11 (WLAN). GNUnet supports accounting to provide contributing nodes with better service. The services built on top of the framework include anonymous file sharing and a virtual network providing IPv4-IPv6 transition via protocol translation over the P2P network.
aria2 is a utility for downloading files. The supported protocols are HTTP(S), FTP, BitTorrent, and Metalink. It has a powerful segmented downloading ability, downloading a file from multiple sources and multiple protocols and utilizing your download bandwidth to the maximum. It supports downloading a file from HTTP(S)/FTP and BitTorrent at the same time, while the data downloaded from HTTP(S)/FTP is uploaded to the BitTorrent swarm. Using Metalink's chunk checksums, aria2 automatically validates chunks of data while downloading a file like BitTorrent.
BitTorrent is a tool for copying files from one machine to another. FTP punishes sites for being popular. Since all uploading is done from one place, a popular site needs big iron and big bandwidth. With BitTorrent, clients automatically mirror files they download, making the publisher's burden almost nothing.
libextractor is a library used to extract meta-data from files of arbitrary type. It is designed to use helper-libraries to perform the actual extraction, and to be trivially extendable by linking against external extractors for additional file types. The goal is to provide developers of file-sharing networks, file managers, and WWW-indexing bots with a universal library to obtain meta-data about files. It includes a shell-command and bindings for Java (JNI) and Python.

AUSTIN -- More than 20,000 runners from all walks of life dedicated to finishing and motivated by their own unique goals started Sunday's LIVESTRONG Austin Marathon and Half Marathon.
"We've got runners from all 50 states, 20 countries, including almost 400 runners from Mexico," said marathon spokesman Jeff Hahn.
Among the diverse crowd -- more than 120 runners in gold-colored "Team Kate" T-shirts.
The runners were united to support their friend, Kate Voth, who has endured stage-four melanoma for the past five years.
"It's an unbelievable feeling. Never, ever, had I imagined this many people would come out and have this big of a showing," said Voth.
Last month, doctors discovered Kate's cancer had progressed. She's undergoing radiation for 25 tumors in her brain.
"It's such a huge motivation to me during this cancer fight. It brings me to tears," said Voth.
Another runner, Steven Ward, competed holding an American flag and wearing his paramedic gear. Ward finished the race in honor of his former co-worker, Captain Randy Trinkle. The 15-year EMS veteran died in December in a car crash.
"He was a really, really good guy, and we all miss him a lot. I inspired some people to maybe join me and do this again next year," said Ward.
Each mile of the marathon is dedicated to a non-profit.
"That's the great part of this, the tradition of our race -- 26 miles for 26 charities," said Hahn.
With the help of LIVESTRONG's CEO, Team Kate raised $60,000 to help other cancer survivors.
"Knowing all the good that the money goes towards is an amazing feeling. It turned into something bigger than I ever imagined," said Voth.
The marathon winners are:
Omar Martinez is the overall winner with a time of 2:35.
Mariko Neveu of Austin won the women's division at 2:55.
Melissa White won the women's half marathon.
Lee Troop won the men's half marathon.

A fun, fuzzy ride
'Muppets Most Wanted' worthy of its franchise
Do Muppets sleep? It's hard to say.
They don't really eat (or breathe, as far as anyone can tell). And only occasionally do they have visible, functioning legs.
As far as anyone knows, sleeping might be off the table. And that makes it very hard to accuse the Muppets of sleepwalking through their latest feature, Muppets Most Wanted – even if that's exactly what's going on.
Jim Henson's beloved creations were back in a big way after 2011's The Muppets, with fame and fortune and even an Oscar, a first for the group ("Rainbow Connection" was nominated, yet somehow failed to collect at the '79 ceremony). > Read more.

|This article's lead section may not adequately summarize key points of its contents. (April 2014)
Ketosis /kɨˈtoʊsɨs/ is a state of elevated levels of ketone bodies in the body.[1] It is almost always generalized throughout the body, with hyperketonemia, that is, an elevated level of ketone bodies in the blood. Ketone bodies are formed by ketogenesis when liver glycogen stores are depleted. The ketone bodies acetoacetate and β-hydroxybutyrate are used for energy.[2]
Metabolic pathways[edit]
When glycogen stores are not available in the cells, fat (triacylglycerol) is cleaved to provide 3 fatty acid chains and 1 glycerol molecule in a process known as lipolysis. Most of the body is able to use fatty acids as an alternative source of energy in a process called beta-oxidation. One of the products of beta-oxidation is acetyl-CoA, which can be further used in the citric acid cycle. During prolonged fasting or starvation, or as the intentional result of a ketogenic diet, acetyl-CoA in the liver is used to produce ketone bodies instead, leading to a state of ketosis.[citation needed]
During starvation or a long physical training session, the body starts using fatty acids instead of glucose. The brain cannot use long-chain fatty acids for energy because they are completely albumin-bound and cannot cross the blood–brain barrier. Not all medium-chain fatty acids are bound to albumin. The unbound medium-chain fatty acids are soluble in the blood and can cross the blood–brain barrier.[3] The ketone bodies produced in the liver can also cross the blood–brain barrier. In the brain, these ketone bodies are then incorporated into acetyl-CoA and used in the citric acid cycle.[citation needed]
The ketone body acetoacetate will slowly decarboxylate into acetone, a volatile compound that is both metabolized as an energy source and lost in the breath and urine.
Ketone bodies are acidic, but acid-base homeostasis in the blood is normally maintained through bicarbonate buffering, respiratory compensation to vary the amount of CO2 in the bloodstream, hydrogen ion absorption by tissue proteins and bone, and renal compensation through increased excretion of dihydrogen phosphate and ammonium ions.[4] Prolonged excess of ketone bodies can overwhelm normal compensatory mechanisms, leading to acidosis if blood pH falls below 7.35.
There are two major causes of ketoacidosis:
- Most commonly, ketoacidosis is diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), resulting from increased fat metabolism due to a shortage of insulin. It is associated primarily with type I diabetes, and may result in a diabetic coma if left untreated.[5]
- Alcoholic ketoacidosis (AKA) presents infrequently, but can occur with acute alcohol intoxication, most often following a binge in alcoholics with acute or chronic liver or pancreatic disorders. Alcoholic ketoacidosis occurs more frequently following methanol or ethylene glycol intoxication than following intoxication with uncontaminated ethanol.[6]
A mild acidosis may result from prolonged fasting or when following a ketogenic diet or a very low calorie diet.[7][8]
If the diet is changed from one that is high in carbohydrates to one that does not provide sufficient carbohydrate to replenish glycogen stores, the body goes through a set of stages to enter ketosis. During the initial stages of this process, blood glucose levels are maintained through gluconeogenesis, and the adult brain does not burn ketones. However, the brain makes immediate use of ketones for lipid synthesis in the brain. After about 48 hours of this process, the brain starts burning ketones in order to more directly use the energy from the fat stores that are being depended upon, and to reserve the glucose only for its absolute needs, thus avoiding the depletion of the body's protein store in the muscles.[9]
Ketosis is deliberately induced by use of a ketogenic diet as a medical intervention in cases of intractable epilepsy.[7] Other uses of low-carbohydrate diets remain controversial.[10][11] Induced ketosis or low-carbohydrate diet terms have very wide interpretation. Therefore Stephen S. Phinney and James S. Volek coined the term nutritional ketosis to avoid the confusion.[12]
Whether ketosis is taking place can be checked by using special urine test strips such as Ketostix. The strips have a small pad on the end which is dipped in a fresh specimen of urine. Within a matter of seconds, the strip changes color indicating the level of ketone bodies detected, which reflects the degree of ketonuria, which, in turn, can be used to give a rough estimation of the level of hyperketonemia in the body (see table below). Alternatively, some products targeted to diabetics such as the Abbott Precision Xtra or the Nova Max can be used to take a blood sample and measure the ketone levels directly. Normal serum reference ranges for ketone bodies are 0.5–3.0 mg/dL, equivalent to 0.05–0.29 mmol/L.[13]
Also, when the body is in ketosis, one's breath may smell of acetone. This is due to the breakdown of acetoacetic acid into acetone and carbon dioxide which is exhaled through the lungs. Acetone is the chemical responsible for the smell of nail polish remover and some paint thinners.

Some clinicians[18] regard restricting a diet from all carbohydrates as unhealthy and dangerous.[19] However, it is not necessary to completely eliminate all carbohydrates from the diet in order to achieve a state of ketosis. Other clinicians regard ketosis as a safe biochemical process that occurs during the fat-burning state.[12] Ketogenesis can occur solely from the byproduct of fat degradation: acetyl-CoA. Ketosis, which is accompanied by gluconeogenesis (the creation of glucose de novo from pyruvate), is the specific state with which some clinicians are concerned. However, it is unlikely for a normal functioning person to reach life-threatening levels of ketosis, defined as serum beta-hydroxybutyrate (B-OHB) levels above 15 millimolar (mM) compared to ketogenic diets among non diabetics which "rarely run serum B-OHB levels above 3 mM."[20] This is avoided with proper basal secretion of pancreatic insulin. People who are unable to secrete basal insulin, such as type 1 diabetics and long-term type II diabetics, are liable to enter an unsafe level of ketosis, causing an eventual comatose state that requires emergency medical treatment.[citation needed]
The anti-ketosis conclusions have been challenged by a number of doctors and advocates of low-carbohydrate diets, who dispute assertions that the body has a preference for glucose and that there are dangers associated with ketosis.[21][22] The Inuit are often cited an example of a culture that has lived for thousands of years on a low-carbohydrate diet. However, in multiple studies the Inuit diet has not been shown to be a ketogenic diet, as the Inuit consumed as much as 15-20% of their calories from carbohydrates, largely from the glycogen found in the raw meats.[23][24][25] Whether a no-carbohydrate diet would be safe for non-Inuit is also disputed: Nick Lane [26] speculates that the Inuit may have a genetic predisposition allowing them to eat a ketogenic diet and remain healthy. According to this view, such an evolutionary adaptation would have been caused by environmental stresses.[27] This speculation is unsupported, however, in light of the many arctic explorers, including John Rae, Fridtjof Nansen, and Frederick Schwatka, who adapted to Inuit diets with no adverse effects.[28] Schwatka specifically commented that after a 2- to 3-week period of adaptation to the Inuit diet he could manage "prolonged sledge journeys," including the longest sledge journey on record, relying solely on the Inuit diet without difficulty.[29] Furthermore, in a comprehensive review of the anthropological and nutritional evidence collected on 229 hunter-gatherer societies it was found that, "Most (73%) of the worldwide hunter-gatherer societies derived >50% (≥56–65% of energy) of their subsistence from animal foods, whereas only 14% of these societies derived >50% (≥56–65% of energy) of their subsistence from gathered plant foods," suggesting that the ability to thrive on low carbohydrate diets is widespread and not limited to any particular genetic predisposition.[30] While it is believed that carbohydrate intake after exercise is the most effective way of replacing depleted glycogen stores,[31][32] studies have shown that, after a period of 2–4 weeks of adaptation, physical endurance (as opposed to physical intensity) is unaffected by ketosis, as long as the diet contains high amounts of fat.[27] It seems appropriate that some clinicians refer to this period of keto-adaptation as the "Schwatka Imperative" after the explorer who first identified the transition period from glucose-adaptation to keto-adaptation.[33]
Veterinary medicine[edit]
In dairy cattle, ketosis is a common ailment that usually occurs during the first weeks after giving birth to a calf. Ketosis is in these cases sometimes referred to as acetonemia. A study from 2011 revealed that whether ketosis is developed or not depends on the lipids a cow uses to create butterfat. Animals prone to ketosis mobilize fatty acids from adipose tissue, while robust animals create fatty acids from blood phosphatidylcholine (lecithin). Healthy animals can be recognized by high levels of milk glycerophosphocholine and low levels of milk phosphocholine.[34]
In sheep, ketosis, evidenced by hyperketonemia with beta-hydroxybutyrate in blood over 0.7 mmol/L, occurs in pregnancy toxemia.[35][36] This may develop in late pregnancy in ewes bearing multiple fetuses,[35][36] and is associated with the considerable glucose demands of the conceptuses.[37][38] In ruminants, because most glucose in the digestive tract is metabolized by rumen organisms, glucose must be supplied by gluconeogenesis,[39] for which propionate (produced by rumen bacteria and absorbed across the rumen wall) is normally the principal substrate in sheep, with other gluconeogenic substrates increasing in importance when glucose demand is high or propionate is limited.[40][41] Pregnancy toxemia is most likely to occur in late pregnancy because most fetal growth (and hence most glucose demand) occurs in the final weeks of gestation; it may be triggered by insufficient feed energy intake (anorexia due to weather conditions, stress or other causes),[36] necessitating reliance on hydrolysis of stored triglyceride, with the glycerol moiety being used in gluconeogenesis and the fatty acid moieties being subject to oxidation, producing ketone bodies.[35] Among ewes with pregnancy toxemia, beta-hydroxybutyrate in blood tends to be higher in those that die than in survivors.[42] Prompt recovery may occur with natural parturition, Caesarean section or induced abortion. Prevention (through appropriate feeding and other management) is more effective than treatment of advanced stages of ovine ketosis.[43]

Film Lounge: Quartet
Pictures / Videos
The directorial debut of Oscar winner Dustin Hoffman / German premiere
Cecily (Pauline Collins), Reginald (Tom Courtenay) and Wilfred (Billy Connolly), residents in a home for retired opera singers, are gearing up for the annual concert in honour of Verdi's birthday, due to be held on 10th October. Opera star Jean (Maggie Smith), Reggie's ex-husband, arrives and creates a stir by playing the diva and refusing to appear on stage with the others during the upcoming concert. The big night, so looked forward to by so many, is fast approaching and Cecily, Wilf and Reggie cannot go onstage without Jean. Verdi's opulent melodies form the background music to this intriguing romp.
The setting for "Quartet" is modelled on a famous location – the Casa Verdi in Milan, a home for the elderly founded by Verdi himself. In 1896, moved by the tragic ends suffered by a number of successful singers, who found themselves destitute in old age, Verdi founded La Casa di Riposo per Musicisti, the Milan residence known today as the Casa Verdi. The establishment affords 60 singers and musicians a retirement free from financial worry. Shortly before his death, asked what he considered his greatest achievement, Giuseppe Verdi is said to have replied: "My rest home for the elderly in Milan". Shrewd investment has ensured that the home is still in operation today. In 1984 it came to international prominence as the subject of "Il Bacio di Tosca", a documentary by the Swiss director Daniel Schmid.
"Quartet" is also one of the events marking the bicentenary of the brilliant composer's birth in October 1813.

Charlie Hunnam to Star in Fifty Shades of Grey?by Free Britney at .
Sons of Anarchy's Charlie Hunnam is the latest star to be rumored as a potential lead in Fifty Shades of Grey. But will (or should) that come to fruition?
Rumors began swirling Tuesday that the 33-year-old British actor had emerged as "the producers' choice" to play the male lead in the new movie.
The rumor originated from a report on Twitchfilm, linking Hunnam to the role and citing industry insiders claiming he was being sought after.
Sources close to Hunnam, however, say that no casting decisions have been made on the project ... so not a definite no, but clearly not a yes.
Fantasy casting of tormented billionaire Christian Grey and his plaything Ana Steele in the adaptation of E.L. James' bestseller is an online pastime.
For years, it seems. What do you think of this latest speculation? Would Charlie Hunnam make a good Christian Grey? Vote in THG's survey!

These book genuinely make me feel insulted. As a part of the actual BDSM community for 8 years now I can attest to the fact that these books are so romanticized it makes me sick. Then you get the people reading these books and they think oh that sounds like a walk in the park and I want to be spanked and get my hair pulled so you join the community and 95% leave it as well because they have no idea what they are getting themselves into. The other 5% great. Stick around. We love new people. But I say to those who read this book and think that is the lifestyle they want do your research. Actually learn about BDSM. Talk to other people with real life stories. You will get chewed up and spit out if you come in with the thought that this is how it is.

For the first time when ordering from Overstock I was disappointed in the order. The quilt was a little skimpy and not quite the color I expected. So if you are ordering for a queen bed, order the king. The king was too small for the king size bed.
This is not the soft microfiber indicated in the description. It is scratchy and collects lint, hair, etc that does not remove easily with a lint brush.
Does not resemble picture at all. I ordered the chocolate color and it is more of a washed out light brown not even close to what the color swatch is in picture. The comforter is very thin and runs small for a full/queen size. This is truly a waste of money.
The color is an ugly dark red. Not at all like the picture. I'm very disappointed. But this is the first time Overstock.com ever let me down.
I have been looking for a black king size comforetr for 2 years now that was not too costly. Whe I went on Overstock.com I took a chance and for $**** bought it. It is soft and well made. I am really enjoying it.
The comforter is well made and the color is consistent with that which was posted, What's peculiar is that the "tag" is swen in the most odd place, which has been a quandry about how to remove it without opening up the seam - very strange; nevertheless, the fabric is great and boxy look of the design lays out well on my bed. On the other hand, the shams seem to be thin and don't have the body I would like, having nothing to do with my pillow inserts, which has to do with the ruffle around the edge. For the most part, it is a good product and excellent buy.
I was just looking for a simple bedding set for a spare bedroom and this fit the bill perfectly. Nice and warm with a very nice look.
I absolutely love my comforter I love the color (vibrant red) I especially love how lightweight it is but warm and the cost was so worth it <3
originally i was sent the wrong 'red'. i got on Overstock Chat and was quickly and very courteously promised my 'bright red' would be shipped in exchange at no cost to me. a return shipping label was also given to me to return the package that was the wrong color. my 'BRIGHT RED!' was received within a week. it's REALLY red! i love it. it's exactly like i wanted/ordered! i returned the 'brick red' to Overstock. i am very impressed with customer service, item cost and quality and it's RED! excellent! thanks Overstock!
Couldn't find a green comforter anywhere and then I found it on Overstock. Picked it out, had it sent and it was a wonderful experience. No need to go shopping, find a parking spot or anything. Great quality and I will do this again with Overstock.

I have been working at Best Buy full-time for more than 5 years
Pros – Great employee accommodations, some very smart coworkers, some leadership cares about you as a person, good pay rates for retail, lots of repeat customers that become friends, good recognition system to line level (FT or PT) employees.
Cons – Too many people have different opinions of how to run the place instead of sticking to the structure the company has given to the stores. There's not much of a quality of life once you get to a leadership position (supervisor or above). The company may or may not go private in February, so uncertainty is looming in every store.
Advice to Senior Management – Choose your teams carefully and give the people that work hard the credit they deserve. Leadership teams do not get the credit they deserve.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Getting it done in Marion County.
North Marion, East Fairmont and Fairmont Senior rolled in the regionals wrestling tournament held at the Woody Williams Armory on Saturday.
The Huskies placed first with a score of 209, while the Bees tallied a second-place spot at 201.50. The Polar Bears finished third at 188.
The irony?
In the Big 10 Championship, the same three teams ranked first, second and third; however, in the Big 10, the Polar Bears were champs.
This time, in the regional, the youth of North Marion prevailed.

Getting it done in Marion County.

North Marion goes 2-for-2; Fairmont Senior 0-for-2 in tournament
A day after an 11-0 mercy-rule victory at Philip Barbour, the North Marion Huskies were at it again.
Chelsi Latocha threw three no-hit innings, Shelby King drove in five runs in the first inning and the Huskies rolled to a 20-0 victory over the winless Fairmont Senior Polar Bears in the Diamond Dawg Tournament at North Marion High School.
East's Postlewait, North's Latocha toss no-hitters
Tori Postlewait made a deal with her great-uncle, Kenny Carpenter, before her freshman season.
If the Bees' pitcher tossed a no-hitter, Carpenter promised to give her $20.
Well, it took four years, but it's finally time for Postlewait's great-uncle to pay up.
East tennis splits with Polar Bears
Fairmont Senior and East Fairmont split a pair of tennis matches Thursday, with Fairmont Senior winning the boys' match and East Fairmont taking the girls' competition.
In the Bees' 6-1 girls' victory, Cara Laswell took second singles, 8-2. Erica Gorman won third singles, 8-1. And Carrington Reese won fourth singles, 8-3.
University hands Huskies first loss; East edges Elkins
The mercy rule has been a familiar part of North Marion's softball season.
Through the first seven games, the Huskies regularly pounded their opponents with stingy defense, sharp pitching and timely hitting. Rarely did a game go all seven innings for the previously undefeated team.
East can't overcome No. 7 Lincoln, falls, 4-0
Thunder clouds weren't the only thing looming over the East Fairmont (6-6) softball team Monday when the Lady Bees hosed No. 7 Lincoln. Joining the ominous clouds was a sense of urgency for energy that never showed up as Lincoln was able to shut out East Fairmont, 4-0.
Kesling's bat powers Polar Bears
When Fairmont Senior's Johnny Kesling stepped into the batter's box this past week, it was game over.
North Marion's rally falls short
North Marion had all the pieces in place for a thrilling come-from-behind victory Saturday afternoon.
The four runs in the bottom of the seventh. The tying runner on third and the Huskies' fastest player on second. Even the clear-blue sky on the mid-70s afternoon was the perfect stage for a comeback.
Giorcellis share important piece of tennis tradition
You always hear the phrase "pass the torch."
When those words come into your mind, you generally think of someone older, wiser and more experienced passing something along to someone younger, the next generation.
Huskies' sixth-inning comeback falls short
It ain't over till it's over.
North Marion (3-4) proved that, despite falling to Elkins, 13-8, during its home opener Thursday night from North Marion High School.
After falling behind, the Huskies proved that you can still take something away from a late-inning rally despite taking home an "L."
Coaches support WVSSAC ruling
West Virginia educators took a major step toward extending the summer practice period for high school sports earlier this week.
The West Virginia Secondary Schools Activities Commission board of control voted to extend the current three-week window by five weeks.

Job swaps: Are they for you?October 24, 2012: 5:00 AM ET
Trading places isn't just for reality shows anymore. Now C-suite executives, seeking fresh ideas, are switching jobs with counterparts, both at other companies and inside their own.
By Jennifer Alsever, contributor
FORTUNE -- One morning in May Nadim Hossain drove to work, sat in a weekly sales forecast meeting, met with the marketing team, and gave feedback on ad messaging. Only it wasn't his office, his job, or even his company.
À la the TV show Wife Swap, Hossain, then vice president of marketing at San Francisco-based PowerReviews, was in the midst of an executive job swap. He traded roles for the day with Jon Miller, VP of marketing and co-founder of San Mateo, Calif., software firm Marketo, hoping to gain some insight into his own role by experiencing someone else's.
It worked. Since PowerReviews -- now owned by Bazaarvoice -- is a Marketo customer, Miller came away better understanding the issues facing chief marketing officers. Hossain, for his part, returned to PowerReviews with pages of notes on ways to motivate his sales team, woo big brands, and identify leads. "A fresh environment is always a good way to generate new ideas," Hossain says.
MORE: 5 ways to find extraordinary employees
A job swap may not yet be commonplace, but it reflects a marked shift in how today's leaders learn. Executives are increasingly seeking outside help, whether it's hiring executive coaches, collaborating with peers, or trading jobs for the day. Says Paul McDonald, senior executive director at staffing services firm Robert Half: "Old school was 'Keep it in-house and keep your secrets to yourself.' Executives today, the good ones, are going out and getting help."
Switching roles is most common among rank-and-file employees: An estimated 38% of employers offer cross-training of some kind, according to a 2012 survey by the Society for Human Resources Management. Now the C-suite is looking to build skills in much the same way. That was the case for Dharmesh Shah. The chief technology officer at Boston Internet marketing firm HubSpot.com traded roles with Paul English, the CTO at Boston travel company Kayak.com, one day in April. Shah wanted to learn more about how to recruit top engineers to his fast-growing startup.
He came back to work with a plan to copy much of what he saw at Kayak. Among the ideas: "the couch rule," which requires every employee to greet and chat with anyone sitting in the lobby, and "the red-phone rule," which randomly sends customer-support calls to the engineering department; anyone nearby must answer the customer call regardless of what he's doing. Shah and English both plan to do swaps again elsewhere. "I know I will get mileage out of it for the rest of my life," Shah says.
MORE: Performance reviews are getting a makeover
But job swapping comes with risks. There's the grass-is-greener threat that your own team might actually like your replacement better than you. Also, it's time-consuming: Miller admits that he felt guilty leaving his team when his company was planning projects.
The biggest worry, however, is confidentiality. Concerns about privacy would squelch any external swap for Jay Miletsky, CEO of online video startup MyPod Studios. "Any company has its own little trade secrets," says Miletsky. Instead, he changed roles with a developer in his own office for a day.
That's the same approach taken by Sunil Verma, chief business development officer at mobile-ad company Velti. He trades jobs every quarter with fellow C-level executives to boost teamwork and improve communication. He even used it to help solve a dispute between two Velti sales managers, making them switch roles for a day last January. They came away with an understanding of the demands the other person faced; that led to a truce.
Steve Cody, CEO of New York PR firm Peppercom, had the same kind of revelation when he traded places with junior-level employees, including his receptionist, a junior account manager, and an account supervisor. He cleaned conference rooms, hung up coats, answered phones, and wrote press releases. The experience made him understand the stress of entry-level jobs. "It's like being inside a videogame -- there's an explosion of information and data whipping into your laptop and phone," says Cody.
As a result, Peppercom is more sensitive to work-life balance. Cody lets employees work an extra day from home each month. "We are much more employee-friendly than we were five years ago," he says. "If you're open to a swap, you'll come out of it a much better leader."

Huntingdon CollegeNews Release
MONTGOMERY, Ala. – Huntingdon defensive back Keith Anthony and
running back Trevor Manuel summed up the feelings of many of their teammates
after Friday's scrimmage with Mississippi College.
There was no score to determine a winner or a loser on
Friday, but Anthony and Manuel like the direction their team is headed in after
nine days of practice.
"This is probably the most enthusiastic team I have been a
part of in my four years here," said Anthony, a senior from Eclectic. "We're working
hard, we love the game and we love this team. I like the way we're looking
right now."
Manuel, a junior from Monroeville, said the Hawks finished
strong in the scrimmage. He said the team is trying not to waste any
opportunities to get better.
"Since I've been at Huntingdon, this is the team I've felt
the most confident in," Manuel said. "We all want the same things and we're all
buying into the same goals. We all want to be a better team than we were last
year and we're trying to get better each day."
Head coach Mike Turk said he saw tremendous improvement from
the Hawks' first scrimmage earlier this week.
"We played pretty well on both sides of the ball today,"
Turk said. "The offense moved the ball and our tempo was better. We executed
better and I thought we protected the passer very well today, which was a big
improvement from earlier in the week.
"Defensively, we had a pretty solid performance. They scored
early but I thought we picked up our intensity until the final possession when
they scored again. Once we settled in, I thought we reacted well and played
The early stages of the scrimmage focused on group drills for
about an hour before the teams squared off for 11-on-11 work.
"I'm sure when we watch film there will be a lot of things
that need correcting, but I was proud of the way we performed," Turk said. "It
was obvious we were a little nervous about facing someone different. That's one
of the reasons you do this, so that you're more comfortable the next time you
see a team wearing a different color."
The Hawks have Saturday off from practice before returning
to the field at 3:30 p.m. on Sunday. There will be a newcomers scrimmage on
Saturday at 3:30 p.m. for the players that didn't participate Friday.

Declined Offer
Negative Experience
Average Interview
I applied online and the process took 4 weeks - interviewed at Northwestern Mutual.
Interview Details I had 3 interviews each lasting 30-40 minutes. The questions were pretty straight forward about my skills, previous experience, how I handled certain business situations. Everything was going really well until the last interview. The interviewer asked me highly inappropriate questions and it made me realize I did not want to work for this organization.
Interview Question – 1. How old are you?
2. Are you married?
3. Do you want to have kids?
4. Do you plan to work full-time after having kids? Answer Question
Reason for Declining – I had a bad gut feeling after being asked personal questions that have nothing to do with my skills or performance.
Accepted Offer
Positive Experience
I applied in-person and the process took 3 weeks - interviewed at Northwestern Mutual in November 2010.
Interview Details Few interviews to go on. Need to take some assessments before you come in for a second interview. Looking for someone energetic with a strong networking background and affiliated with local groups. Looking for someone clean cut and polished. They prefer you to be referred into the company.
Interview Question – Do you feel comfortable using your own resources for referrals? Answer Question
Negotiation Details – You picked a number based on your experience and they'd either match it or adjust accordingly.
Declined Offer
Positive Experience
Average Interview
I applied through a recruiter and the process took 2 weeks - interviewed at Northwestern Mutual in April 2013.
Interview Details They worked really hard to get the multi-stage interviews done in a timely manner. During the interview process each representative that I met with was very professional and personable as well.
The offer process seemed very rushed and not very flexible.
Interview Question – "why do you want to leave your current job" Answer Question
Reason for Declining – commission/compensation was at a good level, but salary base was low
Accepted Offer
Positive Experience
Easy Interview
I applied through an employee referral and the process took 2+ weeks - interviewed at Northwestern Mutual.
Interview Details Very laid back interview with management-asked me more about my life and views on life. Went on to meet with other managers who were similiar in their interview style.
Interview Question – Tell me about a time when you had a difficult challenge in your life and how you came to a conclusion about the decision. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – Very little negotiation as salary was discussed upfront. Negotiated bonus slightly.
No Offer
Neutral Experience
Difficult Interview
I applied online and the process took 3 weeks - interviewed at Northwestern Mutual in December 2011.
Interview Details Applied online. Went through a phone screen a few days later. Scheduled an interview two days later. I prepared very intensely for the interview. Studied all aspects of the company, took their sales test, prepared recruiting strategies and prepared for anticipated questions. Both the phone screen and one-on-one interview were with the head recruiter. A couple of candidates moved on to a second round. Prepping is a must for an interview! I've never prepped so much for one. Bring your A++ game. They prefer experience in recruiting for commission-only jobs.

#15 Valparaiso claimed a pair of victories on Friday, including a win over the nation's top-ranked team, as the Crusaders opened competition at the Prairie View A&M Invitational in Arlington, Texas.
The tournament opened with the Crusaders unable to claim a win in their first three matches, falling to #3 Vanderbilt by a 913-729 final and #14 Norfolk State by a score of 811-603. Valpo was down just 13 pins through two games of its four-game baker match against #7 Arkansas State, but eventually dropped a 743-652 decision.
The Crusaders spotted #1 Central Missouri 42 pins after game one of the fourth match of the day, but out-scored the Jennies by 51 pins in the second game. UCM would chop five pins off the deficit in game three, but Valpo closed the door by out-dueling Central Missouri in game four, 227-183, to close out a 783-735 victory over the nation's top-ranked squad. It marked Valpo's fifth victory in 14 matches against the #1 team in the nation in program history. The Crusaders then ended the day by out-scoring host #RV Prairie View A&M in all four games in a 725-607 victory.
Valparaiso (38-42) ended the day in seventh place out of the 12 competing squads. The Crusaders continue with the middle day of action at the Prairie View A&M Invitational on Saturday morning.

THE mass walk-out of advertisers and sponsors from the Alan Jones breakfast show on 2GB could be costing as much as $80,000 per day, but the damage could be short-lived and ultimately financially insignificant, brand experts say.
Since Monday, 23 companies have publicly announced the suspension or termination of their relationships with the program and/or the station.
Joining the list yesterday were Harvey Norman, McDonald's, 7-Eleven, Julia Gillard's old law firm Slater & Gordon, Mazda, NRMA Insurance, Ford Australia, Sydney Symphony and Medibank.
That appears to represent a major win for the 95,000-plus supporters of the change.org petition and associated campaigns on social media calling for a boycott of Jones over his claim that Julia Gillard's father had "died of shame" over his daughter's "lies". But the victory may be brief at best, if not entirely illusory.
"With someone as polarising as Alan Jones you're always going to get extremities," says Damian Borchok, chief executive of brand consultancy Interbrand Australia. "It's the way it's managed that often determines whether those extremities have a short-term or a long-term impact."
The current backlash is similar to the one faced by Kyle Sandilands and 2Day FM late last year. "And that doesn't seem to have damaged his brand too much," Mr Borchok said. "The same may well be the case with Alan Jones."
In the short-term, said Ben Willee, general manager of Spinach advertising agency, the big brands have little choice but to distance themselves. "Advertisers are very savvy. They have their people go on social media to say 'We're pulling our advertising' but that's code for 'We're pulling our advertising until this blows over — and then we'll go back to chasing ratings'."
Mr Willee added that the brands "have to be seen to be doing it because of the social media storm that would blow up if they didn't. I'd be surprised if any of these advertisers are away for more than two months, and most likely it will only be about a month."
Media analyst Steve Allen agreed that the current storm of protest is unlikely to last long. "The next crisis will come this week some time from some other direction and people will just move on to the next thing," he said.
Much of the protest is being played out in social media, and that is a space of little relevance to Jones' core demographic, he added. "But against that, most of the advertisers are from the big end of town, and they can't afford to be associated with that kind of message".
The damage to 2GB will be less significant than it might have been had Jones made his comments on air, Mr Allen said. "The fact that he didn't [make them on air] means the government can't monster the Australian Communications and Media Authority for an inquiry. In fact, if Jones had handled it properly on Sunday we wouldn't even be having this conversation, but he didn't because of his massive ego."
Still, the short-term costs to 2GB might be substantial. In the immediate wake of the Sandilands affair, 2Day FM is believed to have lost as mush as $1 million in booked ads. The damage was mitigated by virtue of the fact that it happened near the end of the ratings year, but an insider suggested parent company Southern Cross Austereo was still dealing with the fallout.
"We've had to divert quite a lot of time and energy to helping clients deal with the attacks on social media, which are ongoing," the source said.
Calculating the true cost of the damage is not easy. When the Kyle and Jackie O program returned this year it was to a significant downturn in the advertising market generally; any shortfall year-on-year may or may not be related to Sandilands' on-air attack on a female journalist who had given the duo's television show a caning.
But in the case of the Jones fracas, some back-of-the-envelope calculations suggest the short-term damage could be huge.
A 30-second ad on his program costs $500-$750, and a "live read" by the announcer costs more than $1000. Under the Commercial Radio Codes of Practice, a station can broadcast up to 18 minutes of advertising per hour.
That means that the sum at risk for the three-and-a-half-hour Jones program could be around $80,000 a day.
But Ben Willee points out that many advertisers have 12-month contracts, and are likely to fulfil them once the fuss has died down.
"Media buyers need to follow big audiences so they'll be back," he says. "There's a very real chance that over the course of the year the impact on 2GB's bottom line could be negligible."

O'Brien concedes conundrum at Penn State

08:20 AM ET 10.04 | Earlier this week, Penn State head coach Bill O'Brien addressed the possible struggles he could face while recruiting over the next few years, and he revealed some of his plans for addressing the challenge. "That's a strategy we're talking about every day," he said. O'Brien said that at each home game so far this year about 40 to 50 recruits have visited. In the same vein he explained to his players this summer, he says he explains to recruits about how Beaver Stadium provides an environment and attendance few stadiums could match. O'Brien has also started inviting NFL scouts to practices. ... O'Brien acknowledged recruiting would not be easy but tries to focus on the parts of the program he can showcase.
The atmosphere that he and the fan base has created should help.

Yikes. Find some warm yellow liquid in your corn flakes this morning, DC?
These old guys are brutal on each other, brutal I tell ya. ;-)
Taking away 4 bowl games for Penn State is like telling george Clooney he can't have sex for 4 years but can date all the pretty woman he wants. Screw the NCAA and Penn State should have fought the ban not wimped out. I still don't think Penn State did anything wrong. and Joe's dead. The football team committed no crime and should not have been punished.
The players them selfs didn't commit the crime......but the coaching staff did and some of the members of that staff just turned there heads.
It will hurt recruiting for the next few years ,but on the other hand they might get some players that other schools did not want that could turn out to be good players, but my guedd in about 3 yrs. things will be back to normal in the recruiting department.
This guy's got something because he's not only managed to keep the team together reasonably, but has also got it winning. I have PSU over Northwestern this weekend.

All Richard DeBlasi wants to do is sell his wine and offset the approximately $200,000 it costs to grow and maintain grapes at his vineyard on Seven Bridges Road annually.
"It's a lot of money to do grapes, and this would help," DeBlasi said at the July 9 Borough Council workshop meeting.
To do so, he would like to change the zoning for the lot that would allow him to add a retail store to sell his wines and perhaps offer educational tours to the public. Right now, DeBlasi can sell the grapes and store the wine he produces in bulk but cannot sell his product to the public.
"Rick does this as a labor of love," DeBlasi's attorney, Patrick Accisano, said of his client's vineyard. "It's a great thing for Little Silver."
DeBlasi, who has owned the property at 647 Seven Bridges Road for more than 30 years, came before the council on an "informal" basis to try to get feedback on his plans that have been scaled back
"We're not talking about Mondavi Vineyards," said Accisano, of the new plans that eliminate a proposed tasting room. "We don't want a big operation."
Accisano said his client hoped to get a "non-binding impression" from council as to whether they supported the project before going forward and spending money on traffic studies and engineers.
However, the mayor and council agreed that they were unable to provide any type of guidance to DeBlasi until they were provided with a more detailed narrative of what's proposed.
According to Borough Attorney John O. Bennett, neighbors expressed concern about DeBlasi's proposal last November; in particular they were worried about the increase in traffic the winery might generate.
An attorney representing Seven Bridges Road resident and borough planning board member John Chimento attended the July 9 meeting. "(My client) has a lot of concerns about this," attorney Erik Anderson told officials at the meeting.
Paving the way for the property to become a winery would also allow DeBlasi to sell it as such in the future, which would preserve open space and dodge the possibility of it being subdivided and developed as housing.
"It's a showcase piece of property in Little Silver," said Councilman Dane Mihlon.
